Q: Can I add any other ingredients to the egg salad?
A: Absolutely! You can add ingredients like diced celery, red onion, pickles, or a sprinkle of paprika to enhance the flavor.
Q: Can I make this egg salad ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prepare the egg salad ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Q: What bread is best for this sandwich?
A: Any type of bread will work! Classic white or whole wheat bread is perfect, but sourdough or a hearty multigrain bread can add extra flavor and texture.
